The path was bumpy and there were about a thousand twists and turns

"How much longer?" Whined Jethro.

"We are almost there," the leader said confidently.

"We better be..."

"This one is a whiner," I warned.

"Duly noted," the knight spoke in a peeved tone.

"So this King Jacob, is he nice?" I asked cautiously

"To some yes, to others no."

"What about us?" I said.

"He should like you," the leader said.

"What about Jethro?"

"Him, I do not know,"

"Gee, thanks," he scoffed.

"I'm just being honest,"

"I know," Jethro rudely replied.

"Where are you two from?" Asked a different knight.

"Colmer," I said.

"Aren't you, Arthur?" the leader asked curiously

"You know me?" I asked anxiously

"Of course! You two are famous."

"This cannot be!" I exclaimed

"We are just hunting Maelfor."

"Sorry, who?

"He was a god before he fell and he cannot be killed."

"So what do you plan to do?"

"If only I knew..."

"What if you trap him?"

"He has no body"

"Oh dear," the leader's face turned pale as a sheet of paper.

"Exactly!" I exclaimed in frustration.

"You ready to meet the king?"

"Yes, I am."

"As am I," Jethro said.

"We shall go into the city then," one of the knights said.

"Sounds good to me," I said.

We went into the city.
